Principals and practice: Rhetoric and the moral character of managers
反驳了弗里德曼和麦金太尔将道德与管理分离的观点，论证道德品格发展是良好管理实践的核心，并借助亚里士多德的修辞学理论说明修辞实践如何促进经理人的实践智慧发展。
Milton Friedman argues that moral development is not a proper concern for managers in their public role as agents of principals. For managers the sole criterion of good behaviour is the lawful promotion of the owners' interests; their moral development is presumed an entirely personal affair. From a critical perspective, Alasdair Mac In tyre also argues that moral concerns are antithetical to the technical and instrumental activities that characterize management. In this article, I argue that this separation of morality and management is neither necessary nor desirable. The purpose is to show that the development of a moral character is integral to good managerial practice. I describe this moral character as the more or less successful development of phronesis: a sensitivity to the appropriateness and limits of value convictions set within communities of practically oriented, purposive action. To further expand on this, I discuss the relevance of Aristotle's theory of rhetoric and how rhetorical practice might contribute to the phronetic development of managers.
